Siri-ously? Butt jokes about Apple’s new feature?

Technolog has an amusing posting about how the Apple personal assistant feature, Siri, is unconveniently similar in spelling to the Japanese word shiri — um, which means “buttocks.”

Not sure why that’s reportedly trending on Twitter but Siri is pronounced “seer-ree” (or something like that) with no H. We checked with Apple reporter extraordinaire Casey Newton.

This is reminiscent of all those tampon jokes people made in March 2010 when Apple unveiled its iPad. Haha, MaxiPad, iPad, get it? Hrmmmmm, the Cupertino company went on to sell 14.8 million iPads worldwide that year. Guess they’re the ones with the last laugh.
